Box and Whisker Diagrams (Boxplots)

Class discussions: Use proportional reasoning to describe the spread of data on the box and
whisker diagram.

IA tip:
When comparing two sets of
univariate data, draw both
boxplots on the same scale to
make visual comparisons

Class discussion: How might we reflect on the spread and

skewness of the box and whisker plots in these diagram?
